A Pillar trim
BMW still had a few in germany.
I’m well chuffed with these as the current trim is looking a little tired after 22yrs.

some Interior TLC
Replaced the headlight switch.
Turn controls for heaters, fan and temperature.
And finally was able to source a glovebox torch.

Very nice indeed. I have about six of those glovbox torches kicking around. Not sure what state the batteries are in though. I have seen a working one fetch £40 on eBay 😲

It’s Christmas Eve and the weather is strangely mild, so I got her out one last time and decided I’ll takle some of the DIY bits.

Cataloging parts
Ok, so the above was ordered with various other bits like pads, sensors, etc...can’t list every item from a 8/10 page invoice
Or this may well turn out to be a long evening!
So I unpacked all the parts I’ve accumulated except the external mouldings (in storage).
Take a look at this lot!

Had the o rings on the a/c compressor and hoses done today as there was a minor leak.
The brake calipers are almost ready.
Collected this lot also.
